About funny male cat names

Every name here is written for a tom, so the list does not repeat the mixed funny cat page. The largest family is the pun on a famous man. Actors and musicians get the cat treatment (Meowchael Caine, Clawrence Fishburne, Lionel Scritchie, Eddie Shedder), and so do writers, painters and thinkers (Rudyard Kitling, Franz Catka, Gustav Climbt, Immanuel Cat). The best ones swap in something cats really do, like kneading, shedding, hiding or staring: Friedrich Kneadzsche, Joseph Hidin, Fred Astare.

The second family is rank. A male cat is a tom, and most toms carry themselves like minor nobility, so Mr., Sir, Lord, King, Captain and Professor all fit once the rest of the name admits the truth: Sir Knocks-a-Lot, Lord of the Laundry Basket, King of the Cardboard Box, Captain Underfoot. Mock job titles work the same way, from Gravity Research Fellow to Head of Pest Control. Chief Mouser is a real one: the resident cat at 10 Downing Street holds the title Chief Mouser to the Cabinet Office.

The rest is deadpan. Dave, Alan and Colin are funny on an animal that sleeps in a sink, and a scolding built into the name (Not Now, Kevin or Off the Counter, Carl) is funnier still. Tough-guy names such as Knuckles and Born to Be Mild round it out.

How to choose funny male cat names

  • Match the joke to his worst habit. A cat who clears shelves is Sir Knocks-a-Lot or Gravity Research Fellow, a 3 a.m. singer is Simon Yowell, and one who trips you on the stairs is Captain Underfoot.
  • Pick a pun on a man your household knows. Meowchael Caine and Sean Catnery land with film fans, Dave Growl and Axl Doze with music fans, and Franz Catka with readers.
  • Give a long title a call name. Lord Commander of the Night Yowl can answer to Yowl, and the full style can stay on the vet's paperwork.
  • Try a deadpan name out loud first. Shouting Alan or Get Down, Gerald across the garden should make you smile, not wince.
  • Go tough for a tiny cat. Knuckles, Bonecrusher and The Enforcer are funniest on a kitten that fits in a slipper.

Frequently asked questions

What are some funny names for a boy cat?

Puns on famous men are the favorites: Meowchael Caine, Lionel Scritchie, Clawrence Fishburne and Jeff Goldblep. Titles such as Sir Knocks-a-Lot, Captain Underfoot and Lord of the Sofa suit a cat with opinions. For a deadpan laugh, try a plain guy name like Dave, Colin or Big Dave.

How is this different from the funny cat name generator?

The general page mixes male, female and neutral jokes, with plenty of foods and meme cats. Here the names are built on men's names, titles such as Sir and Lord, mock job titles and words like Foreman and Milkman. No name on this list is on that page, so the two work well together.

What is a male cat called?

A male cat is a tom, or a tomcat. That is why Tom turns up inside several of the jokes, from Tom Kittleston and Tom Waits by the Bowl to Tomcat Jones and Tommy Two-Naps.

Do these work as funny male kitten names?

Yes. A kitten name only has to survive growing up, and most of these get better with age. Tiny Gentleman, Junior and Birthday Boy suit a kitten now, while Distinguished Gentleman and Grumpy Old Man will be waiting for him later.
